That's magnificent work! Looking forward to a version with Ikara on.

I was hoping you would do these! Another excellent drawing I like how the description reads like a documentary too

Made a small - but significant update, since I found heuhen's excellent RHIBs! Found one 7 m with console that looks very much alike the real one, so snatched that one! Also changed the designation from 'DDG' to plain 'D', as per Aussie practice!

Very nice I hadn't realised the lower hull colour was as shown.

Beautifull work Bezzo, and a fine work as could be expected.
I join Bill's querry about the under water hull color, or is it just the boot-topping?
I also have another question, which concerns the Phalanx system. Were there two mountings, one each side, or just the one, on one side only?

U/w hull color is that dark graffiti grey and two phalanges either side.

Dark gray anti-fouling paint is not unheard of.

I saw a picture just recently of HMA Ships Anzac and Arunta with dark grey anti-fouling paint...
